Usually that affects businesses that either provide an online service, so their costs spike massively

It was reported they were spending half a million USD a month on server costs. A lot of the servers are player-hosted but there are also official servers hosted by PocketPair. Half a million won't immediately crush them with their current sales numbers but it isn't great either.

Honestly no idea why they even have official servers.
